Columbia River Washington Temple, Mormon temple in Richland, United States

Columbia River Washington Temple stands on a 2.88-acre site in Richland near Badger Mountain, its 106-foot single spire topped by a statue of the angel Moroni. The exterior is Bethel white granite; inside are two ordinance rooms, two sealing rooms and a baptistry, with German art-glass windows and hand-painted murals. The building covers 16,880 square feet.

The temple opened in November 2001 as the 107th operating house of worship for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This marked an expansion of religious facilities serving the surrounding region.

The temple serves about 32,000 Latter-day Saints in eastern Washington and northern Oregon. It is not used for Sunday worship: after the 2001 dedication only members holding a current temple recommend may enter. The angel Moroni on the spire stands for the restoration of the gospel.

The temple stands on a 2.88-acre site in Richland near Badger Mountain. Unlike Sunday meetinghouses, it is reserved for ceremonies and admits only members holding a current temple recommend. The public could tour it only during the open house of October 27 to November 10, 2001, which drew 64,362 visitors.

The foundation fill included 2-inch river rock, and during construction people were allowed to take stones from open bins at the edge of the site. Many wrote the names of children and loved ones on the rocks, which were then incorporated into the building.
